The party clarified that the initiative was launched publicly at a rally and that the funding arrangement involves a 50\u201350 contribution between the NPP and Salam Financial Services.<\/p>\n<p>The party further stressed that no EU funds have been allocated to the Government of The Gambia for such a loan scheme, adding that international partners typically do not finance projects tied directly to political parties.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NPP, the women\u2019s enterprise fund does not use any public money and is intended to support the economic empowerment of women within the party and its allied groups. The statement also reaffirmed the party\u2019s support for the leadership of President Adama Barrow, citing his commitment to transparency and women\u2019s economic advancement.<\/p>\n<p>The party called on political figures to verify information before making public statements that could mislead the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The National People\u2019s Party (NPP) has dismissed allegations by former Vice President Fatoumatta&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.techhivetechnologies.com\/blocktvgambia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
